Paladino responds to backlash.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
How are you.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's gonna be hazy out there. It's a nice day,
except some of that Canadian smoke is coming down, So
if you have breathing problems, be careful between eleven AM
and eleven PM. That's what we're being told by the
National Weather Service and by our meteorologist Ray Stagic in
the Big Three. Today, Newark Mayor Rosparaka sues US attorney

(00:24):
Alena Haba in New Jersey for arresting him for trust
passing at an ice facility, a charge that was later dropped.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
I don't know if Alena Habba and Ricky Pottel have
enough resources to pay me for the damages they've caused me.
But at the end of the day, they should at
least apologize, right They should at least write a letter
and apologize to me.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Let's be honest about this whole thing. This is the
best thing to happen to Rosparaka's campaign, and he wants
more of the publicity. That's what this lawsuit is all about.
That's why he was out there in the first place.
This raised his name recognition to where he can act
actually compete in the Democratic primary, and people are voting
right now. Early voting is all this week. New York

(01:08):
City Councilwoman Vicki Palladino post on XT that candidate for mayor,
Zorin Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, should be deported.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yes, frankly disgusting to see the kind of rhetoric that
has been normalized in this city and in this country.
I will be the first immigrant mayor of the city
in generations. But more important than who I'll be is
what I'll do. I'll stand up for immigrant New Yorkers,
treat them like every other New Yorker.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
That was Mam Donnie's response here with Vicki Palladino has
to say about that coming up in about two minutes.
Tonight is the first of two New York City my
oral debates, where Vicki Palladino is certainly going to come
up between the nine candidates. The current Mayor, Eric Adams
won't be there as he decided to run as an independent,
So what is he going to be doing. I'm going

(01:56):
to be running the City of New York. They out
running for my office. I'm running the city. And the
Justice Department is now investigating if President Biden was aware
of the pardons that he was allegedly signing or that
were signed on his behalf in the last days of
his presidency. Subpoenas could be issued for several Biden White

(02:18):
House staff members.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Why should these Biden aids even need a subpoena. They
should be out in public saying I did not commit forgery.
I did not take advantage of, as Robert Hurst said,
a well meeting elderly man with a poor memory to
abuse the power of the United States government. But they're
not going to show up on their own, so they
need to have a subpoena to force them.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
That's constitutional Attorney John yu And after the anti Semitic
terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, the borders are Tom Homan
says he thinks more attacks are coming.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
The Biden administration will bringing people unvetted handing out work
for his selector Candy while they sat here and planned
something bad. We are going to be dealing with this
for the next ten years because of the chaos they
created in four years.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Now, let's get to the woman of the hour, the
woman of the day. Vicki Palladino, New York City a
council member. She represents district nineteen of Northeast Queens. Well, VICKI, congratulations,
you made the New York Times.

Speaker 7 (03:19):
Thank you, Latry, good morning.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Good morning. How are you? You know what the controversy is,
Go ahead and respond.

Speaker 8 (03:26):
You know.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
Look, first of all, let me be clear. The tweet
was as simple as could be. It was simply about
him himself. Let's talk about how insane it is to
elect someone to any major office who hasn't been a
US citizen for less than five years. He's only been
New York Citi a citizen for less than ten years.

(03:48):
It says much less a radical leftist who actually hates
everything about this country here and is here specifically to
undermine everything we've ever been about out Now, after that,
I simply put duport period. We know that he is
now an American citizen, We cannot depour him to Port

(04:10):
was sarcasm. It was about what I do believe in.
And if he had been in college and universities at
this particular juncture, whereas his anti American, anti Semitic rhetoric
would have come under fire, yes he would be on

(04:31):
the deportation list. Let's remember something here. This is a
guy running for mayor. He's been in this country since
he's seven years old. He only became an American citizen
in twenty twenty. Why is that? Why did he wait
so long? Okay, this is a guy who's got a

(04:53):
radical agenda. It's laced with anti Semitism, Marxism, and anti Americanism.
He gained action with the very same segment of the
city that's been responsible for years of chaos and violence
against the Jewish community, students, and our police. Now, particularly
since October seventh and the massacre in Israel, his candidacy

(05:18):
as an incident to underscore the need for the deportation
efforts currently being undertaken by the Trump administration, particularly of
college campuses where these ideas metastasize, so that we can
prevent future Zorans from taking root here in America. Now,

(05:39):
when I talk about Zoran, I'm talking about not just Zoren.
I'm talking about the people that he stands with, the
leaders of Hezbelah, the leaders of Hamas. He's calling for
groceries to be government run, he's talking about free rent,
he's talking about free buses. This guy is up and

(06:02):
out at thirty two years old, only as citizens in
twenty twenty and he's running for mayor in the largest
city and the greatest city in this country. He's looking
to radicalize. He condoned everything that is wrong by the
radical left. And if they get insulted with honesty or

(06:22):
their feelings get hurt because I use the word deport,
well that's just too damn bad, all right, because now
it's time to shine a light on what's actually running
for the mayor of the city of New York.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, I'll tell you what we had. Let me let
me just see it rup for one second. We had
Jeffrey lichtmann On who is you know, he's been combating
anti semitism his entire career. He's a high powered defense
attorney in New York City. You probably know his name.
And he agreed with almost everything you said about Zorin
mam Donnie. He thought you made a mistake by allowing

(06:58):
Zorin Mamdanni to be a victim now and saying that
this was his liking that you were going after immigrants. Well,
how do you respond to that.

Speaker 7 (07:08):
Well, I'm not going after immigrants. And you know what,
it's the it's interpretation of the tweet. And I appreciate
what he said. I truly do what I say? Is this?
You know, it's interesting that one single tweat from a
councilwoman should become such a tremendous outrage to so many.

(07:33):
I don't mean to make that this guy is by
no means in any way, shape or form a victim. Okay,
this is a guy who's got an agenda. He hangs
around with the worst of the worst. And you know
what to me at this point in time, if we
do not do what needs to be done here, How

(07:54):
did Cuomo lose a forty point lead? Why did Mandabi?
Why did this guy's all ran contribute seventy thousand dollars
to Adrian Adams mayorial race because they are What they
are doing is legally rigging the system in the rank

(08:15):
choice voting. This is a very bad thing. Cuomo, to
his mistake. Everybody knows who Cuomo is, all right. He
didn't need to run the last two months on name recognition.
What he needed to do was take a part this
unknown unknown but is now naturally known, and take him

(08:36):
apart limb by limb as to what he stands for
and how he can and will burn this city to
the ground. We're almost there. Already, But to put somebody
in light like him into the office of mayor of
dar city is only going to make this We're dead

(08:57):
in the water. I'm going to tell you that right now.
And you know this only underscores you know, Trump's deportation
and why these people need to be removed. He stands
with these students. Okay, everything about him is absolutely absolutely
out of control, and he says it. He's been an

(09:19):
open book. He has not been hiding anything. But yet nobody,
but nobody has come out who's running for the mayor
of the City of New York to actually condemn what
he stands for.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, that's been surprising. And lack of media interest too,
I mean, it's really as shocking to me. I agree
with the dangers of what you're saying, with the dangers
of this candidate, but even he has not received the
scrutiny he should be receiving. And so if your tweet's
going to bring that type of scrutiny, then God bless

(09:55):
you for doing it. Vicky Palladino, New York City Council
represents District nineteen of Northeast Queen's talk to you again
next week. Thanks for coming on today.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Vicky, Oh, of course, of course, Larry, thank you so
very much. I have a great day.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, that was great. Apparently former governor and mayoral Canada
Andrew Cuomo doesn't know how to order a New York
Breakfast boy. Of all the problems he's having, now he
has this too. He's got Zori Mamdani. He's got a
debate tonight and he doesn't how to order a New
York breakfast staple and it has some saying that's disqualifying.
We'll tell you how he screwed up his order plus

(10:30):
tickets to see the Beach Boys. So stay with us.
Time for your talkbacks again. Thanks keep them coming. We
just talked to Vicki Balladino a second ago, who had
put out a tweet saying that Zora and Mamdani should
be deported, causing a huge controversy in the city, and
so we got at least one talk back on that.

Speaker 9 (10:52):
Larry Mente. The Legacy media did not vet Barack Obama
despite all warnings. They didn't at Joe Biden, they didn't
vet Kamala Harris. Why would anyone expect them to vet
Mundani In New York City, home and center of that
media universe.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Absolutely, and it's time to start vetting him. It's actually
the time was months ago to start vetting him. Everybody
saw him rising, everybody saw that he could be the
next mayor of New York. A guy that was born
in Uganda, who came to this country, who's now a
US citizen, there's no question of that, but has voted

(11:39):
against acknowledging the Holocaust, which is just a pro form
a vote. He's he's either abstained or not vote or
voted against it year after year after year after year.
So there's a lot to worry about here. I absolutely
love Vicky Palladino.

Speaker 10 (11:59):
She is.

Speaker 9 (12:01):
She's extraordinary.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah what she does, Yeah, I love her. I'm sorry
I mean to step on you, but agreed. I agree.
I love her too. She is very refreshing and entertaining
and factual at the same time.

Speaker 11 (12:18):
She should have left it at it was sarcasm. Now
she goes on with all the speculative stuff about somebody
from seven years old up to here. Who knows how
long it takes to get through the emigration system and
become a citizen. It could just be that paperwork she's speculating.
She's throwing garbage out.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Well, except that we don't know if it's garbage. To
get back to the first talk back that we played,
shouldn't this be a story? Shouldn't we know everything about
this guy at this point? You might be right, but
you don't know you're right. We need we need investigative reporting.
We need the media to now vet this guy. And

(13:00):
they have not. They've let him skate. They've gone after Cuomo,
they've gone after Adams, they go after everybody else. He's
now gone up high enough of the polls where he
should be getting the same scrutiny, and frankly, it's embarrassing.
It's embarrassing that he has not. The media should be ashamed.

(13:23):
Speaking of embarrassing, that's the best transition ever. The mayoral
front runner Andrew Cuomo deserves scrutiny as well for the
way he ordered a uh.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Bacon, egg and cheese. It just flows out of your mouth, bacon,
egg and cheese, whether you want on a roll, a bagel,
sometimes an English muffin. Bacon, egg and cheese.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay, I was gonna say it, but you wanted to
make sure that I said it correctly.

Speaker 12 (13:52):
It's bacon, egg and cheese.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Bacon, egg and cheese. It does go.

Speaker 12 (13:57):
Every New Yorker says bacon, egg and cheese.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
That's true, right, Yes, so he said bacon, cheese and
eggs Oh, what.

Speaker 13 (14:05):
Sounds like cringe?

Speaker 12 (14:06):
Did he have a mild stroke while he was ordering that.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
No, it's so hard to even say bacon, cheese and egg. Please,
it is. It's hard.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, So every self respecting New Yorker knows exactly what
Natalie just said and what Jacqueline just said. It is
not said that way. And then a Manhattan Night Wan concepcion,
this is the New York Post. By the way, he
couldn't believe Cuomo's response, as the candidate seemed to be
groping for an answer. He says, quote, it was a muffin.

(14:45):
Then he says it's a bagel. Then he took off
the bacon, so it's an egg and cheese muffin. It's
a McMuffin. At that point, at least he's trying to
be healthy, I guess. And by the way, Cuomo, laughing
about this, did call the Post and say that he
was just trying to keep his girlish figure, so.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
He wanted to take the bacon off of it. Fine,
still bacon, egg and cheese. Don't say bacon, cheese and egg.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
By the way, A lot of people what to social
media about this. Some people say that this was disqualifying.
He can no longer be when there al Jacqueline Carl
with the eight to thirty News Jacqueline.

Speaker 12 (15:20):
Good Morning. President Trump is doubling down on tariffs, raising
them on imported steel and aluminum to fifty percent as
of midnight. The White House says it's about protecting national
security and US industry. Trump announced the move last week
at rally in Pittsburgh, where he also shared plans for
a new partnership between US Steel and Japan's Nippon Steele

(15:42):
and the lawyer for the United Healthcare CEO murder suspect
Luigi Mangioni is asking a judge to unshackle him in court.

Speaker 14 (15:50):
In illegal filing. Lawyer Karen Agnifilo is requesting her client
not to have his hand shackle together and to remove
a bulletproof vest at his next court appearance in Manhattan
on June twenty six. She wrote, the handcuffs and vests
perpetrate a false narrative that Mangioni is an unusual danger
of acquiring extraordinary security measures and also prejudice in the
eyes of the jury. I'm Scott Pringle wrdw's so this.

Speaker 12 (16:14):
Is interesting and I know this has happened to every
single person listening at least once. In a recent Reddit thread,
a user asked the community, what what is a saying
that you've.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Heard that is totally unhelpful? Here are some comments.

Speaker 12 (16:29):
Users said they did not want to hear people have
it worse than you. Depending on what you're going through,
that could earn you a kick in the shins. Money
can't buy happiness, says who. What doesn't kill you makes
you stronger. Anybody could be strangled for that one. God
gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. It is

(16:50):
what it is. And here's my very favorite one. Calm down,
by the way, no one has ever actually calmed down
hearing that. People actually use that to rile people up.
I know that's happened to me, So anything that you
can think of.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
It is what it is bugs me to no end.
And because it bugs me, my kids use it all
the time and smile at me because they know I
can't stand it. They actually got a little plaque that
says it is what it is, and we've had it
hanging up in the kitchen for a while because they
know it bugs me. It means nothing right now, most
of them mean nothing.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I put this up on our Facebook page because if
you have one of these phrases, let us know, because
they should be rid from Overcateglary.

Speaker 1 (17:35):

(17:56):

great new book out called Baddest Man, The Making of
Mike Tyson, who's one of the most fascinating figures not
only in sports but in life. And it's written by
someone who has covered Tyson most of his life and
hasn't always been kind. The author, Mark Krigel, is next,

(18:18):
and don't forget you can leave us a talkback all
morning long. Go to seven ten WR on the iHeartRadio

The old du dot com trafficcenter.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Ohdu dot com the only business software you will need.

Speaker 15 (18:47):
I'm Bernie Bidder with your WR traffic So that crash
on the lie westbound by the clearview that.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Was there saeg a moment and think about who is
the most fascinating figure in sports and the answer, I'll
save you the time. The answer has got to be
Mike Tyson. I mean the fact that how he grew up,
what he became, how he fell again and kept getting

(19:13):
back up, and now he's gotten to the be this
mythical figure that is loved around the world after all
he went through. It is a fascinating story and somebody
needed to tell that story. And there's nobody better than
Mark Kregel. He is a former sports columnist for The
New York Post and The Daily News. He's a boxing analyst.

(19:36):
An essay for says for ESPN, author of a couple
of books before, one of which I read, the Pete
Maravich book, Nameth Biography, Pistol The Life of Pete Marrivich
and the good Son The Life of Ray Boom Boom Mancini.
And we're very proud to have Mark Krigel with us
right now. Mark, thank you so much for taking the

(19:56):
time to talk to us today.

Speaker 8 (19:58):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I appreciate that. Yeah, the story is a fascinating one.
It is a story that if you were to do
a novel on this story, nobody would believe it. But
the fact of him getting to where he is right
now from where he became one is unfathomable.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
Well, it's certainly not anything I could have imagined him.
I mean, like he was the designated villain in my
column at the Post and the News back in the nineties,
and when when the publisher first broke to the idea
of would you do a Tyson bio? My response was
absolutely not. In no way, I'm not revisiting all of
that stuff. I started thinking about it. Why is he beloved?

(20:42):
Why is he here? I mean, I don't think that
you know, whenever you were considering Mike Tyson's mortality. The
one thing that everybody agreed on back in the day
was that he was not long for the world, including
Tyson himself. And when I started really considering the subject
the man the top that.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
There's got to be some virtue alone.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
In him having survived, and that I looked at it
a little closer, and I think what he actually did
survive the death of a child, the kind of fame
that that can really kill you boxing itself, prison as
a kid, prison as an adult. Again, there's got to
be something to There's some kind of virtue in having survived.

(21:25):
And also I think he's he is a better guy.
The question is what went into that fame? What are
the ingredients, what are the knicks? Why are we addicted
to him? This is my attempt to answer that.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Did you find virtue in him? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (21:41):
I find I mean.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
More than virtue. I think.

Speaker 8 (21:47):
I think our attraction to him, or a fascination with him,
has something to do with empathy.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
You know, he's.

Speaker 8 (21:56):
He can be crazy, he can be all sorts of things,
but there's something human and humane that brings you back.
I have. I had this odd experience with him after
running around covering you know first as a police reporter,
like the implosion of his private life. Eighty eight was

(22:19):
marriage to Robin Robin Gibbons, and later later on there
was a great trial and then as a fighter. I
went to see his one man show and it was
still in preview in Vegas, and I found myself holding
back tears. And I meet him after the show and
we talked about it, and I said, you remember when this,

(22:41):
You remember when that? He's like, yeah, he says to me,
how did it make you feel? I really wasn't prepared
for the question, what do you mean? How did it
make me feel? And I thought about it and it
was it was a rusher, was kind of like a drug,
and he sort of acknowledged that, and uh, and we
went on. But I was taken, was taken with the

(23:02):
question itself. And I think it's one of the reasons
why we're all addicted to him.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, what what fueled his anger? Because he seemed to
be always anger, angry, and then he lost that. There
was a there was a point where he took a turn,
completely took a turn. Look.

Speaker 8 (23:22):
I think that not being a fighter helped him lose
some of that anger. I think that his when you
were a fighter, especially the kind of fighter the Tyson was.
When you rely on fear and you rely on intimidation,
it's it's not only that you can't let yourself be
seen as as vulnerable. You have to make yourself be

(23:45):
seen as scary. That takes a lot of energy, and
I think you know you saw you saw the effect
of that in his persona. When he stopped being a fighter,
he probably became a nicer guy. That's that's part of
the answer. But the I mean, the rage it comes
from comes from not being able to you know, his

(24:10):
mother died young, he was impoverished, he was surrounded constantly
by violence.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
There was no dad there.

Speaker 8 (24:17):
You know. I went back to the history of Brownsville,
and to me, especially in that decade of the seventies,
you know, writing an office of ghettos seems sort of
woefully insufficient to me. It's like it was a dystopia.
It was nothing. But he lived in a kind of
shelter for single women. But around him or you know,

(24:39):
block after block of rubble strewn lots, abandoned buildings. In
the middle of this you have the greatest like concentration
of housing projects anywhere outside the Soviet Union.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
So it was, it was, it was.

Speaker 8 (24:51):
It was a nutty way to grow up.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, I get it. You know, this might be too simplistic,
but I remember his reputation and how it changed, and
it was amazing how it how it switched. And I
thought that the movie The Hangover was a big turn
for him in the way the public saw him. Do
you agree?

Speaker 8 (25:12):
I think I think it was a turn in the
way the public saw him. I think it was a
big turn and an unanticipated turn, and probably a stroke
of comic genius from from the producers or the directors
of the movie that had introduced him to a new generation.
But I don't think that was a turn in him.

(25:33):
I think the turn in him had to do I
think that my book ends in eighty eight. It really
deals with what went into the making of Tyson. But
to answer your question, I think the turn came when
he hit a kind of rock bottom.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
He lost he lost a daughter through.

Speaker 8 (25:53):
And just a crazy, a crazy accident, and he got married.
And I think that that the combination of hitting rock
bottom and a relationship that actually sustained him or fortified him,
that had to do with his transformation, not the way
that people saw him.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
We all want to read the book Mark Kriegel, and
the new book is Baddest Man The Making of Mike Tyson.
And by the way, Mark's book launches tonight at Saint

I know who I'm gonna vote for.

Speaker 16 (27:58):
I didn't even know it.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Is it for me?

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Y old?

Speaker 16 (28:00):
Well, maybe I'll tune in, do not.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
But I will now thank you for letting me know.

Speaker 17 (28:04):
Yes, Sam, I want to see what they're offering, but
I kind of already made up my mind.

Speaker 16 (28:11):
Definitely.

Speaker 17 (28:11):
I'm not interested in that at all.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
I don't know because I don't vote. I don't follow
no no politics because I don't like it.

Speaker 16 (28:17):
I never vote.

Speaker 9 (28:18):
I'm sixty three years old and I never vote.

Speaker 13 (28:21):
So he will not be watching a lot of people
telling me if if they don't catch it. They'll see
it on social media or YouTube in short snippets, maybe
on the news the next day. I ran into a
lot of people this morning, New Yorkers like that last
guy we heard from, who just don't plan on voting.
Those who do will enter the polls with a ranked

(28:41):
choice ballot, though. That means they'll be able to rank
all nine candidates in order of preference. So how does
it work. If your first choice doesn't have a chance
at winning, then your ballot counts for your next choice,
and so on and so forth, depending on popularity. What
do voters think of that?

Speaker 17 (29:00):
That is definitely a turn off for sure, Adam, I
think that's insane. Just pick who you want and that's it,
and the story each vote's supposed to count it. Actually,
I'm going to read into that because that seems interesting
to me.

Speaker 15 (29:12):
I would say, because no one is perfect. Not one
candidate does everything that you want. So if you have
a ranking system, you can tell, Okay, you know what,
this guy seventy five percent of what I'm looking for.

Speaker 13 (29:22):
It might work, It might work. Maybe you can mix
all the candidates together. I don't know, but voters want
candidates to see what they see many describing to me
this morning a city in chaos, one that's been different
ever since the coronavirus pandemic hit, and not in a
good way. And even though the democratic field is crowded,

(29:44):
only one name seems to stick.

Speaker 17 (29:48):
Maybe maybe Cuomo. Maybe I was a fan of his.
I was he kept the city clean, it felt safer.
He's the one person that I think he can.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
I thought he was a great governor. I don't think
he should have quit, and I think somebody's after him,
but I'm going to.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Vote for him.

Speaker 15 (30:05):
I think he says what he wants to do and
does it, doesn't care what anyone else does, and you
need that. He's kind of non political in that way.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
He doesn't care.

Speaker 15 (30:14):
I'm going to do this and this is what it is.

Speaker 17 (30:15):
I'm just going to voting for Como.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
And that's it.

Speaker 17 (30:17):
In most Black women my age, I go to the
hair dress every weekend and everybody we're not thinking of
anybody else there.

Speaker 16 (30:25):
You go.

Speaker 13 (30:25):
If the Hanflon says it, then that's it. Down Stone
and all the candidates preparing this for this debate, like
Council Speaker Adrian Adams, State Assemblyman Zoran mom Donnie or
Controller Brad Lander might want to take last minute notes
on what New Yorkers think the city means.

Speaker 17 (30:45):
I think they need leadership and guidance and somebody that's
going to sit there and fight for them as much
as they fight for themselves as well.

Speaker 16 (30:52):
So somebody who will work in the center and not
create radical policies and create further chaos in what is
already a pretty unpleasant city city.

Speaker 10 (31:03):
I love Mario Cuomo, I love his sons, but I
don't know. I hope that maybe he can straighten it
out a bit more than what it is now. I
think he was a good governor, putting aside his personal stuff,
but it seems the personal stuff is the norm these days.

Speaker 8 (31:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (31:18):
Personal stuff. Indeed, of course, may Or Adams will not
be on the stage tonight. He's an independent. He faced
his own personal and professional stuff as well when he
kind of beat these these federal charges again about campaign
finance and bribery. The debate ears. The debate air tonight
at seven pm on NBC. Larry, Let's see what down

(31:40):
bites come out of it tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I'll tell you what if Zora and Mom. Donnie has
been listening. He should be worried. It didn't seem like
anybody knew about him. It was cuomo quomo quomoquo wo Guobo.
Natalie Migliori, thanks so much. Is the prosecution finally tying
everything to get ether in the Sean Diddy Combs trial.
We'll talk with Peter Haralambus who was in the courthouse. Next,
